To the tune of Lilly the Pink:

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Eddie the Ink the Ink the Ink
The saver in the City goal.
He reinvented the sweeper keeper
Now there's City in his soul.

Repeat till hoarse..
 
Should’ve started over Alisson. Future of Brazil No 1
He is gonna debut against chile. Tite just confirmed. This is Guardiola and City's effect all the way. It will be hard to ignore him, if he continues playing well at citys and collectioning clean sheets at premier and champions leagues..

I hope he does well. He is much better than Alison.

Cheers

Is this more of a one game thing or is he going to continue starting for the future?

I think at this point it is but an official test, (since Brazil is already qualified). On the other hand, goalkeeper is a position you dont do tests unless you are not so sure of your current option. And Alison is playing for an average italian clube (Roma) and was never an unanimous choice down here.

I think that if Ederson plays well, he has a fair chance of continuing. Specially if he has the chance of showing his top qualities, in my view, his distribution and the way he control the box during crosses.

He also plays for city on major european competitions (Premier and Champions), if the team does well, I can imagine him as BR's world cup keeper next year.

A last note, Brazil x Chile will be a chance to see Ederson x Bravo .

Cheers
 
Well deserved if Ederson starts for Brasil. Let's hope he comes through it unscatched and adding to his confidence.



The problem Ederson has is that Brazil in the last 6 months under Tite have really come to fruition as a team and are starting to look credible in regards to potentially winning the World Cup.

Tite, I doubt, won't make significant changes to his side in key positions.
 
Anyone got a link to the article recently that said he cant be much good cos he doesn't start for Brazil? Can't remember who it was
 
Brazil coach Tite: "Ederson will start against Chile." The goalkeeper will make his Seleção debut opposite City teammate Claudio Bravo!

Typical city both keeper injuries incoming

He will start at Brazil x Chile game, next tuesday. Game will be at palmeiras stadium, São Paulo. Tomorrow Brazil plays bolivia at 3800 meters high and Alison will start. cheers
 
Not a fan of intl break. On vieweing 3 now of the Chelsea game. Unsung moment that I really noticed was at 77:33 (77:39) where the crowd whines for a handball and he waves his hand and gives them a fuck off moment. Love the direction of this team. Squads been too humble for too long. It was a goofy stretch where he took option two or three that was close but he was confident of his decision.

Small things like that have loads of value for me.
 
Don't usually root against players but wouldn't mind seeing Alison concede a couple against Bolivia followed by an Ederson clean sheet against Chile ;)

Me neither! Also I am rooting for a long pass from him to reach neymar or Gabriel that end up in a goal. If that happens, he will definitely have build a strong case for being in the starting 11. ^^
 
Question for the Brazil fans....

Is Ederson's start against Chille mostly not to risk big injury to Alisson, or is Ederson in contention for Brazil's #1?

It's neither, it's just experimenting before the world cup because they've qualified early.

Alisson will still start unless something happens to him in the meantime, he's been #1 since Tite took over, but Ederson will overtake him probably after the world cup.
 
Brazilian press article, with guardiola and tite's inputs on him just so as you guys can have an idea of how he is seen around here. (google translator)

Tite reserve, goalkeeper of R $ 145 million already charms Tite, Guardiola and Taffarel

Adored by Cláudio Taffarel, respected by Tite and absolute holder with Josep Guardiola. At age 24, goalkeeper Ederson, who will host the Brazilian team against Chile (10th) , collects admirers of weight and begins to win the spotlight in Europe after, at the request of Pep, change Benfica (POR) for Manchester City (ING) and managed to get a quick start in one of the positions that generated the most headache for the Catalan coach in his first season in English football.

Hired for R$ 145 million in the last transfer window, Osasco (SP) holds the position of the second most expensive keeper in history - behind only the legendary Gianluigi Buffon, bought by Juventus (ITA) of Parma (ITA) in 2001 for R $ 188 million, in adjusted amounts. City disbursed that fortune only a year after Guardiola's initial bet on the team's goal to sink. By taking out Chile's Claudio Bravo, 34, of Barcelona (ESP) for $ 65 million in August 2016, the coach made a decision that was the subject of heated debates in England: he released Joe Hart, idol of the cityzens and reference in the country, to be loaned to modest Torino (ITA). With the end of the loan in Italy, Hart is currently defending the traditional West Ham of London.

The idea was to prioritize Bravo's technical quality with his feet. However, the performance of the veteran left to be desired, the Argentine Willy Caballero, 36, took the position, but also passed far from unanimity - which kept Hart's shadow at Etihad Stadium among the fans. Negotiated with Chelsea, Caballero saw last weekend, from the Stamford Bridge reserve bench, Ederson to spend another game without a goal in the 1-0 victory over leaders Manchester City.

The Brazilian only looked for the ball at the bottom of the net in two of the nine matches he played in the current campaign. In both cases, it was leaked only once. The last of them happened more than a month ago, in the Premier League's 2-1 win over Bournemouth on 26 August. Everton, in the previous showing, had another rare chance of beating him in a 1-1 draw in Manchester.

With only two goals conceded in nine appearances, Ederson is the best-performing goalkeeper among all the major clubs in Europe. "He has adapted very fast and is very calm. If he takes a goal or makes a defense, he reacts with the same tranquility," explains Guardiola. "Great clubs always have to have top-level goalkeepers, and we're lucky to have two excellent players in the position," he added, recalling Bravo, captive on the bench. reservations. The safety, the agility under the crossbars and the great replacement of the ball - with both feet and hands - also won the Brazilian team's coaching staff.

With the approval of goalkeeper coach, ex-goalkeeper Taffarel, Ederson returned to the ranks after being cut short by injury to the Centennial America's Cup in 2016, then with Dunga in charge. And even though he has not played for Tite yet, Ederson already has a captive spot on the coach's roster and will hardly be out of the 2018 World Cup. With a good evaluation in the training periods of the national team, the City goalkeeper stands out for being "very complete" , as the members of the technical team of the Canarinho team repeat. And after patiently waiting, the City keeper has a date to make the team debut.

Tite has revealed that Ederson will be the starter against Chile, next Tuesday (10), at the close of the Qualifiers. "I've always been focused on the group, and the selection is a result of the work at the club." Tite is seeing all the players. He has been with me and I believe I'm doing well, "he told UOL Sport with the serenity described by Guardiola. Already ranked first in the South American qualifiers for the Russian Cup, Brazil faces Chile in São Paulo and closes the participation in the premiere of Ederson next Tuesday (10), in the Allianz Park.

Sensational goal kick in the 23rd minute which seemed premeditated between he and Gabby. The ball flew to inside their box, and Gabby was a couple of metres in front of the defenders. He tried to trap it and it bounced off his leg. Caught the Chile defenders completely by surprise. It was amazing to watch.
